In podcast #2, we talk to Andrew Stoeten of TheScore.com’s Drunk Jays Fans blog/podcast about your Toronto Blue Jays, the Ervin Santana melodrama and what – if anything – it says about Rogers’ ownership. We also talk about the value of the Jays media rights, as well as the surprises of the season so far. Then we do our silly “Cross Canada Round Table” with Justin in TO and Greg from Calgary, talking Leafs elimination, the best Raptors team ever(?) and more Jays.

What we got wrong(?)
We didn’t seem to get too much wrong today, but what we did get right was the speculation about Brendan Shanahan being inserted as Leafs Team President. One point that came up was the idea of whether organizational leadership can be brought in and expected to succeed, and we referenced a study regarding GMs and coaches in the NHL. For anyone interested, one article based on that research can be found here.

In our inaugural podcast, we talk to Drew Fairservice of TheScore.com about the Toronto Blue Jays offseason as well as their chances in 2014. Then we host a “Cross Canada Round Table” with Justin in TO and Greg from Calgary talking about the Jays.

Greg’s feelings about Cecil having a rocky 2nd half were justified, he pitched 46 innings to the tune of a 1.94 ERA, a .173 BAA, and .971 WHIP in the first half, and in just 14 2nd half innings, his ERA ballooned to 5.65 ERA, a .281 BAA and a 1.535 WHIP.
